TODAY’S PUZZLE:
Who created the only living ancient world wonder?
YESTERDAY’S ANSWER (mouseover to see):
Search [two cents plain] to find that you’d be handed a glass of seltzer water. The cheapest drink at most soda fountains, it was called “two cents plain” because it was just plain carbonated water without flavoring. Search [seltzer water inventor] to find the chemist Joseph Priestly, who is also given credit for the discovery of oxygen.
